Yes, nicely done film with amateur detectives from the big city helping some down home English types - particularly a RR engineer - and his family and friends. The engineer sees a train when there shouldn't be one coming - his actions in trying to avoid a wreck cause damage to the train and injuries to people. And there have been other phantom trains - and wrecks - and there is a group of men who want to buy the RR now that the stock price is depressed. Why don't the RR officials and police investigate - because there would be no film. Otherwise, figure it out for yourself. The beauty here is in the charming down home scenes - particularly a birthday party for the suddenly disgraced and dismissed engineer. The fun is in how the city boys together with the country folk resolve to and do solve the mystery. An enjoyable mystery and home life melodrama from a different time and place.

I enjoyed the special effects used in this movie. Of course there is no comparison to modern techniques, but the FX team did an excellent job on this production.

@accalaurie49, the speeding train through the tunnel is located at +/- 20:11.

Yes, the description is rather...misleading, or inaccurate, but it's a good solid story, fun characters, and a peek into a world I never would have known. Not a blockbuster- but a good ride.
Well worth my 15 cents, with a dime left for popcorn and a soda-pop!

The film´s description which you can read above is partly wrong: There is no tunnel in the whole movie. And there is one other point where the description is leading you the wrong way but I won´t mention it. You will find out yourself.

The movie itself is well worth watching. Interesting railroad mystery, including melodrama and romance. Adequate acting. Parts of the story are hard to believe.

the print used for this looks much cleaner than the existing one. unfortunately, the windows-media-file doesn't look so well. low quality and even some interlacing. if we could get a 700 mb divx/avi version of this, this would be terrific.
